romney's winning by five points. that's good news for the romney campaign. the other constituency i'm looking at tonight is evangelicals. which is going to be 41% of the vote. that's identical to what it was four years ago. and santorum is maintaining his advantage tonight, but he's doing so with a smaller margin. winning nine points. >> i'm curious, ralph. this is david gergen. about what the overlap is between evangelicals and tea party. are there many who are both? and which way do they lean? >> it's a great question, david. we've looked at that in some earlier polling. and about 2/3 of self-identified tea party members are social conservatives. that doesn't mean they're involved in the tea party movement for those reasons. they're involve primarily because of spending, deficits, government overreach, and obama care. but they are social conservatives. and among self-identified evangelic evangelical, about half identify themes as members or activists. there's a huge amount of overlap. >> and do they tend to be -- with the overlap, do they tend to be moved

romney is the guy. do you want it over or is it to your advantage they carry on squabbling for another month or so. >> if you're the democrats and the obama campaign, you're loving this. the longer it goes on, the less republicans are unified and saying return to the corner. our focus is on defeating president obama. republicans are overwhelmingly motivated to defeat president obama. they want to stretch this out. republicans have not put their best foot forward in this primary. i will make the case. in 2008 the democratic primary lifted up both hillary clinton and president obama. their favorables rose throughout the primary. that is not happening this year. the other big issue republicans have got to address is the decline and support among women. this is a vexing problem for republicans. i think mitt romney, who didn't play a significant role in it, some of the issues rick santorum introduced, have got to figure out how to get that back. it's going to be a fight for the agenda. if the agenda is about
